Flu jab bite mark!
« on: 28 November, 2022, 11:08:04 pm »
Got invited for an nhs flu jab. Just had it and noticed a lump at the injection point that looks a little like an insect bite like I get from horse flies I think.  Kind of a round, flat swelling around the injection point, perhaps even a slight change in skin colour towards a slight yellow colour.

Has anyone else had this from a flu jab? Not worried just curious if it's a common thing to get a lump.

It wasn't the nurse, then.

Sore arm yes, lump no.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

No lump sore arm for a day or two.

I've never had a reaction to a flu jab.

Possibly mild infection of the injection site?
